A co-author of over 300 scientific articles, published, among others, in "Nature" and a former employee at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, Dr Brona, is the most-often quoted Polish scientist, according to the Google Scholar ranking for 2016.

"We have a pretty ambitious goal to build the first Polish commercial satellite by 2020 and I hope we can lead a Polish group of industries to achieve this goal," Brona told Kamila Kudelska after a Polish consortium led by Creotech Instruments won a tender to store and process data collected by satellites operated by the European Space Agency.
